Myself and Karen (Captain at Craigmillar Park Golf Club) want to thank all those who participated, volunteered, donated prizes, and helped make the day such a great success.

Dreams are perhaps coming true!
For the longest time I have been willing for the day when I really feel like I am starting to get better and have my life back. I guess just going back to the "normal" me. I always thought they day would come when a cure for asthma was found or my consultant tried a… Continue reading Dreams are perhaps coming true!
Craigmillar Park Charity Golf Day 14th August
On Friday Craigmillar Park Golf Club hosted a charity golf day to raise money for Asthma UK. Golf club Captain Karen wanted to host a charity day and the fact that she chose Asthma UK was brilliant.

Why I took a break
I posted earlier that I was taking a break because I had stuff going on. I still have stuff going on but am making more sense of it now and coming to terms with decisions I am making to better myself in the long term. It may not seem like much to some but sport… Continue reading Why I took a break

Chest wise I feel that I am managing to keep the outside world seeing me as ok but when I leave work and get back home… Continue reading Feel like that duck…

I found myself in tears reading the posts something which I don't often find. Its not that… Continue reading Harsh realities hitting hard.
What happens when there is nothing else?
During my last hospital admission I was very apprehensive about seeing my old consultant. I had recently changed consultant out of frustration and fear of losing my job. Just reducing prednisilone and seeing how I go was not working for me when all I wanted was to get better. My current consultant is now based… Continue reading What happens when there is nothing else?
